i've finally found a store kinda near me(an hour away) that will acutally get in rare/odd ball fish. it's in houston it's called "Fish Ranch" i was talking to an employee who actually refered to the fish by scientific name!:WHOA: not really used to having a face to face conversation to someone who knows what they're talking about. i asked about several diff cats and he said he'd have to see if they could get them for a good price since they would have to order in bulk to get a cheaper rate. something that they could sale that didn't have a ridiculous price on it that no one would buy.... he said that he would be able to get a tig that was 4" + legnth of streamers for about $190 depending on avalibility and it might be cheaper. i've never seen a tig in real life even for sale in a store!!:( i'd probably buy it irregardless of the price!:ROFL:
but is that a good price????

at $ 190 for 4" is prety good price, same price as online vendors here but you won't have to shell out shipping.

I would say that is an excellent price for a fish store. The only time I have ever seen a tig for sale in a store it was 300$ for a 4-5" er. Since he has to check on the availability I would guess he is going to come back and say they are unavailable as tigrinus are getting very difficult to find. Good luck and definately buy one if he can bring them in.
